AUGUST NELSON, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

TRANSFER-TABLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 777,128, dated December13, 1904. Application filed March 9, 1904. Serial No.,197,863. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUST NELSON, a citi- Zen of the United States,residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and Stateof Illinois, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Transfer-Tables, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention has for its object to provide means for applying power to atransfer-table; and it consists of certain peculiarites of constructionand combination of parts hereinafter described and subsequently claimed.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a top view of a transfer-table,showing the relation of my power appliance to the table. Fig. 2 is asectional view on line If t of Fig. 3, and Fig. 3 is a front view of mydevice applied to a truck.

Permanently secured to an axle B are oarwheels A and gear-wheels C, thelatter meshing with other gear-wheels D, which in their turn arepermanently secured to a driving or motor shaft E. I provide a motivepower F, preferably an electric motor for driving shaft E,whereby thepower is applied to both ends of the shaft at one time. Should I findthat the casing around the motive power is insuflicient to form a solidand substantial bearing for shaft E, I may employ bearings for journalsH.

The table has secured to its lower face, as to the cross-beams clearlyshown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, beams extending at right anglesthereto, and to these beams I preferably secure the motor, as Well asthe hangers in which the axle Bis journaled. This construction greatlysimplifies matters, and, further, is practical and capable of servingall the func tions assigned thereto.

While I have shown the transfer-table in Fig. l with operating-leversand the like, as shown in my application filed October 18,1902, andallowed June 23, 1903, No. 731,806, and have shown my device as operatedby an electric motor, I may, if I desire, without depart-' ing from thespirit of my invention, use air, steam, gas, or any other convenientmeans of applying power to my device.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

A transfer-table provided on its inner face with cross-beams, hangerssecured thereto, an axle journaled in said hangers, car-wheels securedon the ends of said axle, opposing gearwheels secured to the said axle,a motor secured to the said beams, and gear-wheels fixedly secured onthe opposite ends of the shaft of said motor and meshing with saidfirstnamed gear-wheels.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
